are viruses / bacteria cells?

this post is on bacteria. the other one was on viruses.

bacteria on the other hand is a single-celled organism.

a group of bacteria contains chlorophyll and use the process of photosynthesis to make their own food.
some bacteria are aerobic, meaning that they require oxygen in order to
survive.
Other bacteria are anaerobes, meaning that they do not require oxygen to survive.

Bacteria that are parasites live inside man, animals, and some plants causing diseases.
Symptoms for disease caused by the toxins that bacteria produce inside the cells.

Bacteria is moved by air and water currents, and on any surface such as clothing, hands, or any object.
They move themselves by using thin hair-like structures called flagella or by wriggling if they do not have a flagella.

There are three ways to identify bacteria; gram stain, respiration, and shape.
Most bacteria reproduce asexually. That means that new cells are formed during single cell division. Some bacteria can only reproduce sexually, with a male and female bacteria.

Bacteria are decomposers, they break down the chemical elements inside other living or dead organisms.

bacteria growth. cannot find something else other than bacteria growth.
